A new comic is recounting the breakup of The Beatles. Bluewater Productions is behind the book, called “Paul McCartney: Carry That Weight,” which tells the story from McCartney’s perspective. Publisher Darren Davis says the author attempted to get Paul’s input without success, and the former Beatle had no hand in creating the book. He adds that it’s a comic and is “meant to be fun but educational as well.” The 24-page comic arrives in stores today.

“Paul McCartney: Carry That Weight” is Bluewater’s third Beatles-related comic. The 2009 book “The Beatles Experience” covers the group’s entire history, including the band’s formation, rise to fame, breakup, and after the split. The biographical “John Lennon” comic arrived in 2011.
